Holy Silence


In our noisy world outside our homes

and inside our homes,

be wise

and turn off the noise.

During the day, you are required

to listen to it if you are at work,

and in your commute to and from work

whether by bike, car, train, bus, or walking,

but, when you return to your safe and loving home,

turn off the noise.

Turn off the IT phones, laptops, tv, stereo,

and have your family turn them off also.

Listen to the wind.

Listen to the birds.

Smell the flowers.

See the butterflies.

Listen to your beloved Children and beloved Grandchildren.

Listen to your beloved Husband or beloved Wife.

Listen to your  beloved elderly Father and beloved elderly Mother.

Listen to God.

Read the long Psalm 119 slowly.

Take days to read each verse.

God will speak to you deeply and personally.

Be still and know that I AM GOD.

Holy Father, Holy Son, Holy Spirit

Holy Cross

Holy Trinity

Holy time with God as He speaks to you and as you listen.

(Listen to audio Psalm 119)
